the Lords of Tharsis practically without reaction capacity. Just fifteen days the Immortals had
to wait in the surroundings of the Chapel of the Hill Candelaria: once concluded that time Godo
of Tharsis, who inexplicably didn't notice the presence of his foes, was in front of Them. When
he realized that a few steps from him were those personages dressed with their robes of
Cistercian monks, in an instintive impulse he took his sword; but nothing else than this he
could make: with great rapidity Bera raised the Dorché, he pronounced a word, and an orange
ray hit the chest of the young Noyo, throwing him many metres away. Then the Immortals took
the unconscious body of Godo by the elbows and, after they repeated the series of words in
counterpoint while they looked each other straight in the eye, they left the place realizing such
huge leaps, that allowed them to cross the kilometres in just few minutes.
Bera and Birsha would lose some time trying to obtain the confession of Godo about the
Key of the secrete entrance. With that purpose they didn't kill him immediately and they tried
to do what they had already practiced other times without success: but his time, with more
calm they concentrated in his psychic structure, trying to read in some memory the register
about the manner to enter and leave from the Secret Cavern. Nevertheless, all was in vain
again; neither the key seemed to be registered in his mind; nor the most refined torture
achieved that Noyo released the tongue. To all this, the Lords of Tharsis received the sad
announcement of the disappearence of Godo.
Once elapsed twelve hours since he left the cavern, the Noyo Noso comprehended that
Noyo would not return and he decided to warn the Count of Tarseval; then he descended from
the Hill Candelaria, and he went to the shore of the Odiel, where the Lords of Tharsis had a
little boat for similar cases: one hour later he landed two kilomenters from the Seignioral
Residence. In this way the Count of Tarseval knew that his son Godo had been kidnaped by the
Golem.
If some day you decide to visit Huelva, appreciated Dr. Siegnagel, surely you would want
to know the Cavern of the Miracles and the Ruins of the Templar Castle, in Aracena. For it you
will have to take the road that pass through Valdeverde del Camino, very near from the ancient
emplacement of the House of Tharsis, until Zalamea la Real; there is necessary to bifurcate to a
secondary road that goes up to the Mines of Río Tinto, which were exploited in remote times by
the Iberians, and after twenty kilometres it reach to Aracena. Of course, there's no touristical
reason that justifies to go by other path, at least if is desired to travel through better roads and
if is continued from Zalamea la Real to Jabugo, that connects with the broad route which goes
from Lisbon to Seville and follows the old Roman scheme from where Bera and Birsha came.
But if it is not the motive and wants to enter in unnecessary complications, then you can
go through this last path and prepare to take a small carraigeway, which deviation is at some
two kilometres after the bridge over the River Odiel. There is necessary to drive with caution
due to the trail is usually careless, when not completely impassable; there are a pair of villages
of uncertain name and some farms bit prosperous, dwelled by hostile people to the strangers: if
someone decide to enter through those places he shoud go disposed to all due to no help could
be expected from its dwellers; ¡it seems a lie, but seven hundred years later still persists the fear
for what occurred in the moments that I am referring to! it is not exaggerated, in all the region
is perceived a gloomy climate, threatening, wich goes increasing towards the North; and the
villagers, more and more hostile or frankly aggressive, they retain many familiar legends about
what happened in the days of the House of Tharsis, although they take care well to not
